PNEUMATIC BENCH VICE

Abstract

The goal of this project is to create a model of bench vice which is pneumatically operated. Using air pressure to create mechanical motion in the spindle of the vice provides a safe &efficient way to reduce human effort. The mechanical motion in the spindle is created with the help of a double actuating cylinder which is operated by a 5/2 pilot valve & two 3/2 push buttons with the help of the air hoses. A vice is a mechanical screw apparatus used for holding or clamping a work piece to allow work to be performed on it with tools such as saws, planes, drills, mills, screwdrivers, sandpaper, etc. Vices usually have one fixed jaw and another parallel jaw which is moved towards or away from the fixed jaw by the screw. Vice is used to drill a wood, metal, etc. by holding your work piece tightly, it gives you all stability you need so you can make precise cuts. Even it is used for sawing a job with constant force applied by hand, or automatically, in order to cut desired shapes. A pneumatic system is controlled through manual or automatic process. In this Automatic pneumatic vice project for metal working is provided with widely and quick movable clamping jaw and fixed jaw where the vertical clamping surface of the fixed jaw and the horizontal surface of the fastening plane for the working piece confirm an accurate and unchangeable. Using automatically operated pneumatic vice will help you to get the work down easily and save energy.
